The Maxx #15

The Maxx #15 brings Sam Kieth's wildly expressive cover artistry to full force, depicting the massive purple-and-yellow figure of the Maxx seemingly reeling or straining against a striped-sleeve arm thrust toward his face, all set against a blazing wash of orange, yellow, and teal that feels equal parts dreamscape and collision. The raw, painted energy of the composition — loose lines, splattered color, and that unmistakable Kieth looseness — perfectly captures the book's reputation for blending visceral action with something stranger and more psychological. With a story titled "Julie's Return," this 1995 Image issue promises the kind of emotionally charged, Outback-tinged drama that made The Maxx one of the most distinctive series of its era.
